Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for rotationally fixing a seal ring of a mechanical seal assembly, the seal ring being retained at a mounting component to be axially movable, and in particular such an apparatus comprising a force transmitting ring being retained at a mounting component to be axially movable and a rotation prevention device having at least one first engaging member configured to engage in a form-fit manner with the mounting component and the force transmitting ring and at least one second engaging member configured to engage in a form-fit manner with the force transmitting ring and the seal ring, wherein the first engaging member is arranged circumferentially offset with respect to the second engaging member.
  • Such an arrangement is basically known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,479,039 A.
  • a common feature of the known arrangements is a relatively clear attenuation of the seal ring by the grooves or engaging members to be provided. Further, the mobility of the seal ring in an axial direction can be restricted or affected with respect to the stretch of way as well as by frictional effects.
  • the device shall feature a minimum of assembly and maintenance efforts and enable a functional expansion of the function of the force transmitting ring.
  • the engaging members do not extend radially but axially.
  • the torque transmission from the seal ring to the mounting component is performed in two steps, in that the torque is at first transmitted from the seal ring to the force transmitting ring and then from the force transmitting ring to the housing at a location arranged circumferentially offset.
  • the axially extending engaging members engage in shallow boreholes or recesses in the force transmitting ring or seal ring, such that the seal ring is only marginally weakened and simple constructive measures are sufficient for the rotational fixation at the seal ring.
  • the freely movable force transmitting ring may assume the further function of receiving a secondary sealing assembly for sealing the seal ring with respect to the mounting component, due to the lack of radial engaging flaps or the like.
  • at least one annular sealing member made of an elastic material is provided at the force transmitting ring near the end face thereof facing the seal ring:
  • the sealing member may sealingly engage with a guiding surface of the mounting component, along which the force transmitting ring is axially guided.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view, partly simplified, of an exemplary embodiment of a rotation prevention device constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a stationary component, in particular the housing of a mechanical seal assembly
  • reference numeral 2 designates a guiding ring space or an annular recess having an end-side open end being positioned axially in the housing, into which end an axial lug portion 3 of a rotationally fixed but axially movable seal ring 4 protrudes, such that the seal ring 4 is retained and axially guided in the guiding ring space 2 .
  • the rotationally fixed seal ring 4 co-operates with a seal or counter ring 5 which is mounted on a sleeve 6 for a common rotation, which sleeve may be placed on and assembled with a rotary component (shaft) to rotate therewith.
  • a rotary component shaft
  • the seal ring 5 is caused to equally rotate, whereas the seal ring 4 is retained rotationally fixed with respect to the housing 1 by means which are described in more detail in the following.
  • the seal rings 4 , 5 have opposite sliding or sealing surfaces 7 , 8 , between which a sealing gap is formed during operation, in order to seal the surroundings at one periphery with respect to the surroundings at the other periphery of the pair of seal rings.
  • a biasing device 9 is provided, which may be one or a plurality of biasing springs circumferentially arranged about the guiding ring space 2 .
  • the biasing force of the biasing device 9 does not act directly on the seal ring 4 , but through a force transmitting ring 10 which is arranged in the guiding ring space 2 to be axially movable.
  • On axial end of the biasing device 9 is supported at the force transmitting ring 10 and the other axial end thereof is supported at the housing 1 . Due to the effect of the biasing force, the force transmitting ring 10 experiences an axial movement in the guiding ring space 2 toward the adjacent face end of the seal ring 4 , such that the biasing force is transmitted to the seal ring.
  • the force transmitting ring 10 may comprise a pair of sealing members 11 , 11 ′ made of an elastic material, such as an elastomer, to seal the seal ring 4 with respect to the housing 1 .
  • the sealing members 11 , 11 ′ are commercially available O-rings which are arranged in circumferentially extending recesses 12 , 12 ′ having a cross-section adapted to the cross-sectional configuration of the sealing members 11 , 11 ′, e.g.
  • each sealing member 11 , 11 ′ protrudes axially beyond the end face 13 by a suitable small distance.
  • the sealing members 11 , 11 ′ also protrude beyond the outer and inner peripheries of the force transmitting ring 10 by a small distance.
  • the sealing members 11 , 11 ′ are configured to engage with adjacent inner and outer peripheral surfaces 14 , 15 of the guiding ring space 2 when the sealing members 11 , 11 ′ experience a radial expansion due to an axial force being exerted. Without said axial force, no engagement or only a very small engagement of the sealing members 11 , 11 ′ with the peripheral surfaces 14 , 15 occurs, such that the axial mobility of the force transmitting ring 10 is not affected under these conditions.
  • a rotation prevention device is provided to retain the seal ring 4 rotationally fixed with respect to the housing 1 , without the axial mobility of the components being restricted.
  • the inventive rotation prevention device comprises first and second engaging members 17 , 18 which prevent the force transmitting ring 10 from rotating with respect to the housing 1 or prevent the seal ring 4 from rotating with respect to the force transmitting ring 10 , respectively.
  • the first engaging member 17 is configured to be a cylindrical member which protrudes axially into the guiding ring space 2 by a suitable axial distance and is retained fixedly, e.g. by press-fit, in a blind hole of the housing 1 .
  • a recess or bore 19 is provided in axial alignment with the engaging member 17 , into which bore the engaging member 17 may extend upon an axial movement of the force transmitting ring 10 , wherein the engaging member 17 is received in the recess 19 with a play, as it is shown in the upper portion of the FIGURE.
  • the second engaging member 18 may also be a cylindrical member which is force-fit retained in a fit bore in the force transmitting ring 10 and protrudes axially from the force transmitting ring 10 toward the seal ring 4 by a suitable axial distance which, however, should be shorter than the axial extending distance of the first engaging member 17 .
  • a recess 20 aligned with the second engaging member 18 is provided, in which recess the second engaging member 18 can be received with a play upon a corresponding positional relation between the force transmitting ring 10 and the seal ring 4 , as it is shown in the lower portion of the FIGURE.
  • a further recess 21 aligned with the first engaging member 17 may be provided in the seal ring 4 , into which recess an end portion of the first engaging member 17 may protrude, when the first engaging member 17 protrudes beyond the end face 13 of the force transmitting ring 10 facing the seal ring 4 , which may be the case if the components assume the mutual positions shown in the upper portion of the FIGURE.
  • the first engaging member 17 should be received in the recess 21 of the seal ring 4 with a larger play as is the case with the second engaging member 18 with respect to the recess 20 of the seal ring 4 .
  • Both recesses 20 , 21 provided in the seal ring 4 on its face end side facing the force transmitting ring 10 may have a minimal depth due to the inventive embodiment of the rotational fixation, such that the seal ring 4 is not or only marginally weakened.
  • a plurality of circumferentially spaced first engaging members 17 and an identical or different plurality of circumferentially spaced second engaging members 18 are provided, wherein the first and second engaging members 17 , 18 are provided at circumferentially offset locations.
  • the recesses 19 or 20 and 21 in the force transmitting ring 10 or the seal ring 4 , respectively, are correspondingly provided in the respective component in a manner aligned with the respective engaging members 17 , 18 .
  • the inventive rotational fixation may, if desired, also be provided at the rotating seal ring 5 , if it is desired that same shall be maintained axially movable with respect to the rotating component (shaft), in addition to its rotations.
